Selecting Fonts in Mail

When composing a message and selecting Format -> Show Fonts Under the Collection column is "Favorites". When selecting this collection there are none shown in the Typeface pane.
How does one select which fonts to include in "Favorites".
Thank you in Advance.
Jeff Cameron

Click on the gear wheel at the bottom left and use the Add to Favorites item.

Fonts in mail - It always uses the same one, not the one i have chosen.

In preferences, my 'message font' is set to 'Courier New 12' as is my signature font.
Sure, my emails are courier new when I write them, but when I send them, they revert back to whatever the default for the mail client receiving it is. Occasionally, I will find that the signature sent in courier new, but never the body of the email.
I want my emails to look the way that they do on mail when other people open them, Outlook on windows never had this problem. Emails are being sent as rich text, so why is it not sending the font?
My signature looks stupid in any other font that courier new because of the width of the '-' in this font is wider than any other, so I have just the right amount of them to make the length of the text. If this does not make any sense, let me give you an example...
---------------|
My Signature Here
---------------|
The length of the line of '-' s is right in this font, but if you change the font, the width of each '-' reduces and so it looks stupid.
What I basically want to know is how I can send messages using my mailbox font as currently it does not send using any specified font.
Thanks.

Update...
Mail is not sending the font for the body, it appears to be sending the signature font though as i have unchecked the 'use message font' box.
If i change the font manually in the message, it still does not send it in the selected font... however if i write the message in a font in pages and copy and paste it in, it works perfectly. So it is mail that is not sending the correct font info.
Any ideas on this?

Fonts in Mail

Hi all,
Whenever I send mail and the recipient replies I notice the the font of my original email is not what it should be.
I think I've narrowed it down and this seems to only happen when the recipient is using Outlook for Windows.
Is there a way I can fix this. It's not a huge deal but I do like my email messages to look a certain way. I've tried using both Rich Text and Plain Text but get the same result.
I use a 10pt. Arial font, which is ofcourse pretty much universal so I'm not sure why Windows is changing it to a Times New Roman.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Joshua.
Regardless the font selected for the default message font at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors when using RTF for message composition with Tiger Mail, the message will be sent as Plain Text unless you select a font and size via the font panel when composing a new message which can also include changing the style for selected text - bold, underline or italics or changing the text color for all text or selected text.
Choosing RTF for message composition alone without doing anything else does not send the message in RTF which is really HTML format with Tiger Mail when implemented.

Setting font for mail preferences

anybody have this problem?? when i set lucida sans italic as my email font preference it won't italicize it. it will italicize in all areas of preference except when it comes to using it as a default font. i called support and they were stumped and suggested that i post here. help!!! :-):-)

yes, i want to see the message in that font and have the person on the other end view in that font also. you can change the message font in mail preferences. you select the font under message font and it will create all new mail messages in that font. what i find is that any font that will italicize won't do so when you create a new message. i have it set for comic sans right now and that works fine. go into mail preferences, choose message font, select lucida sans from the font list, then on the right select italics and then close and create a new message. the new message should have lucida sans italics as the message font. mine won't do that. you can select other fonts and it will work, but the italics part doesn't take........

How do I change the font in mail permantly

I can change the font in mail but it isn't permanent. I am talking about composing E-mail.

I have a work around you might try.
Add a signature to your email account with whatever font you want. Two steps...like this.
1. Create a new email message:
2. Add a new signature (Mail -> Preferences -> Signatures) and Paste Clip Board into the new Signature editor:
That's All Folks!
Now, when you create new messages, you should find that the format you are looking for is already setup. All you have to do is tweak the Name,
Hope this helps!

In Mavericks Mail, I can't select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail. I don't want to hand select hundreds of e-mail addresses.

In Mavericks' new e-mail program, I cannot select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail without having to re-open the address book for every e-mail address I am opening. Please help.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

Changing fonts in Mail

Hi, can anyone tell me how to change fonts in MacMail when composing new messages?
Thanks,
Bob Tomsak

Did anyone solve this? I want to permantntly both the change the font and color of the font in all of my outgoing messages. I've managed to change the font and size, but the color is still basic black. So for every message I have to go to the menu bar, select font/color and change it. I'm on email just about 6 hours a day, and really, really don't want to have to do it this way. PLEASE - advice on permanent changes?
And what's with the "styles" button? There's no information on how to use anywhere that I've checked.

Microscopic fonts in Mail

Hi all,
I have a 15" MBP i7, hi-res, non-glare screen and -- yes -- the fonts, etc., are REALLY small on, for example, Mail. Is there any way to set a default for VIEWING a larger size -- not SENDING a larger size font?
Same issue with web pages, etc,. but it's most noticeable on Mail, where the viewed fonts are literally about 1/32" tall.
Thanks!

Hi - for some reason (only on the HiRes versions of the MacBook PRO) - the screen font is so tiny I can barley read it.. It is set at 12 point Helvetica which is perfect on my Mac Mini and other non-HiRes MacBook Pro... So I have to increase the font size to 16 point to type a message and then reduce it to 12 point again before sending it... I can't send my clients E-Mail messages in 16 point.. it looks terrible..
If I do as you say and change the message font in preferences to 16 point - that surely means the message is received in 16 point???
I'm trying to make the HiRes screen font in Mail look bigger (so I can read what I type) BUT not the font size in the message..
Does that make sense? It seems to be a problem related to the HiRes versions of the MacBook Pro...
Any help or tips greatly appreciated..

I think that all your form parameters must begin with alowercase letters, for example
startOfSession instead of StartOfSession
try to rename your selectname paramters.
Le me know if ti works,

How do I insert a font in Mail which is not in the Pref. scroll-down menu?

How do I insert a font in Mail which is not in the Pref. scroll-down menu?
I love Palatino, I have it bot in the System fonts folder, in the home/library/fonts folder and in the computer/library/fonts folder.
Yet, It does not come out.
Something else I should be doing?

Keep in mind that if the recipient of the email doesn't have Palantino active on their computer, they're not going to see that font on their end. Their system will replace any instance of Palantino with whatever font is they have set as the default in their mail program.

Looks like a corrupt font.

't' and 's' in font GFS Didot don't correspond to selected font size. 't' is too small, and 's' is too big. Can this be corrected?
GFS Didot is nearest listed MUSE font in appearance to Adobe Caslon Pro, which is the font used in the book which the website is intended to promote. I would like to use Adobe Caslon Pro (I paid for it and it's on my computer, but not in the cloud). Is there any way to install Adobe Caslon Pro as a MUSE font choice in the cloud?
